Details

A unique variant of the ever popular Mystery Snail, with a brown or purple shell and a white body.

These large and striking snails are great for adding some color and decoration to your aquarium, but they also serve some very useful purposes. They clean algae off of glass, plants, and decorations, they eat hair algae, and they keep your substrate clean and the correct color. They are totally safe with any fish, shrimp, or plants, and are completely peaceful.

These Mystery Snails have albino-white bodies and shells striped with different shades of brown, and they make a striking and elegant addition to any aquarium. Mystery Snails are quite large as adults and can grow up to 2"+ in size, making them one of the largest freshwater snails in the aquarium hobby.

Mystery Snails typically feed on leftover food or almost any kind of fish food. They are also very effective algae-eaters. They move around much faster and are more active than most other types of snails.

NOTE: If you search on the Internet for Mystery Snails, many results will state that these are the same species as Apple Snails. These are NOT Apple Snails, though they do resemble them in shape. Apple Snails are considered an invasive species and are illegal to own in the United States. Our Mystery Snails do not grow to the tremendous size that Apple Snails do (often as big as an apple).

Additional notes: With Mystery Snails, it's a good idea to make sure the water line in your aquarium isn't too high, as these snails tend to climb up to the water line to breathe air. Other than algae and biofilm, they also eat fish or invertebrate pellets and blanched vegetables such as zucchini, kale, spinach, or cucumber. Snails are very sensitive to copper, so watch out for copper if you use tap water in your tank.
